Further news on Tag07 in Norway

News yesterday indicated that Tag 07 was approaching the SW coast of Norway. This would indicate that he may cross the north sea on Fri/Sat as winds will be favourable. See map below.

Visited the roost site last night to find a very complex situation. Groups of Pinkfeet and smaller numbers of Canada Geese all calling loudly made listening out for bean geese difficult. In the gloom of the evening I reckoned c50 bean geese landed on the small loch at Fannyside whilst the moorland pools were dominated by Pinkfeet and Canada Geese. Would not be surprised given the cold clear night if most of the bean geese stayed out in their feeding areas.
